Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) revealed the government's ambitious plan to establish nuclear power facilities during the 2030s, according to an official statement made on Friday, October 13, 2023. Rohadi Awaludin, the Director of BRIN's Nuclear Energy Research Organization, conveyed that the government has initiated a feasibility study for the implementation of nuclear plants in the 2030s. This matter has been a subject of intense deliberation among various stakeholders, including the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and the National Development Planning Agency. The specific timeline within the 2030s remains uncertain at this point, as the data is yet to be finalized. The government envisions the development of nuclear power plants with two distinct capacity levels. "Small remote areas need (nuclear plants) that have a smaller capacity, while big cities need larger nuclear power plants. The big ones have the capacity of  1 thousand MW, while the small ones are 100–200 MW, or some are even below 100 MW," Awaluddin said as quoted by antaranews.com. He emphasized the stability and sustainability of electric power generated by nuclear plants. This initiative aligns with the government's commitment to achieve net-zero emissions in the country by the year 2060. (mg/inp/pr/nm)
